Don't give up, I've been where you are now and it's worth spending the time to master Analog. Unless you want to spend a fortune you can't beat Analog for analysing your stats.
If you've requested logs, your ISP will either e-mail them to you or you will find a subdirectory normally named logs on your web site and the logs are there for you to download as and when you need to analyse them. I would recommend running Analog from the DOS Command Prompt, you can see what's happening there which will help you sort out your problems. Put Analog in a subdirectory within your overall web site, this will cut down the length of path names you use. Set Debug to ON and then setup an Error file along the lines of the following command ERRFILE ../webstats/2002/Errors.txt So after you have run Analog you can check the Error file to see where the errors are occurring. Hope this helps a bit.

But this is not a file you create yourself -- it's created automatically by the web server as it runs. Analog reads this file to find out what the web server's been doing. If your site is hosted by an ISP, you have two options. (1) Ask them to send you the logfile. (2) Ask them to run analog for you on their machine. Different ISPs may be willing to do one or the other, both, or neither.
